Well to be honest I am pretty sad that Interplay had to sell Fall Out but they needed capital and couldn't have survived without the sale. I am very hopeful that Interplay can turn things around they are starting several projects and they have made plenty of re-releases as well and downloadable titles for WiiWare/PSN/Live.
My hope is that within the next 5 years the publisher is independent again. Not relying on other publishers to publish their internal products. Personally I know they have a new EarthWormJim in development my hope is that it is a real EWJ game I wouldn't mind seeing a proper 3D entry into the series the N64 game was a disaster.
I also want ClayFighter to come back in a big way. Personally I loved ClayFighter on SNES, but the N64 game was sort of dissapointing it wasn't that great. But when ClayFighter got released on 64 3D technology was still fairly new and developers had yet to master it. Now being almost two decades later I am confident that Interplay could produce a proper 3D version of ClayFighter!
Of course Interplay's other IP's aren't as promising. I could see a HD new Descent game or maybe even a new Boogerman on 3DS or Vita. I know a downloadable MDK 2 HD port is coming but creating a new entry in the series would likely be a smart move.
All the properties Interplay currently owns are Battlechess, Clayfighter, Dark Alliance, Descent, Earthworm Jim, Freespace, Giants, Messiah, MDK, Run Like Hell, Sacrifice, Conquer Series, Tank Platoon,Subwar. of course most of those properties are not going to be big releases. But it shows that if Interplay can manage to start developing higher end titles they have a library of games that could be exploited!
